Ashton Built Inc.
Ashton Built Inc.
We happen to love what we do. Call it passion. Call it maniacal obsession. Call it whatever you want. The truth is, we love nothing more than making a client?s dream home a reality. And we geek-out over the details. We know from experience that construction projects can be demanding, time-consuming, and disruptive to family life, which is why we take pride in making the process as seamless and stress-free as humanly possible. Built on a foundation of honesty, efficiency, and insanely high standards, we work in tandem with clients to accommodate tight time frames and budgets, delivering quality craftsmanship devoid of high mark-ups and completion delays. Always available to answer day-to-day questions, we pride ourselves on attention to detail, overseeing all aspects of the construction process to ensure tasks run smoothly from start to finish.
"We first hired Kyles firm when they were just starting out... he did a really nice job on a relatively small (under a $100k) renovation project. A couple years later we contacted him again to perform another, much bigger renovation project. We hired him mainly because we were fairly certain that he would not walk out on us, and trusted he would resolve any issues. We love our house! We have recommended them and will continue to do so!"

"5++ stars! My home's exterior was cracking due to a poor job prior and drainage issues. Tom and Adam and the team not only gave me peace of mind moving forward with drainage, put in gutters, and re-did the entire exterior of my home (stained wood and stucco), but made it beyond beautiful!! They were communicative, timely, so easy to work with, and the end product is gorgeous. I would recommend them to anyone who needs a construction project done and can't wait to use them again on my next project!!"

"One of the main reasons I decided to meet with Spazio LA Designs for my Master bathroom remodel, was not only because of the beautiful work I saw online, but also because of the great reviews by their past clients. And after working with David, and completing my project, they deserved every star and then some!! I've worked with many companies prior to Spazio LA Designs and they were by far the best! In fact they exceeded my expectations. Not only was everyone with the company and at the office extremely friendly and professional, but when I worked with David, I could feel personal interest he took in every detail of my project and always felt in good hands. I was also always kept updated and informed on what was going on and what to expect. Every worker not only did exemplary work, but was also friendly, respectful, and professional. Project managers were routinely on site making sure everything went smoothly. I even ended up unexpectedly doing additional work in my Master bedroom and living room because the work was so good.
